What happens if I’m not happy with the Seed/Set Quality?

Please check the quality of your order as soon as it arrives. As orders are sent out normally on next day deliveries your seed/sets should be in perfect condition. If there is any defect or quality problem with the seed/sets on arrival you must inform us by email or in writing within 10 days of delivery. After that time we cannot accept responsibility for any deterioration of the seed/sets unless under special circumstances. If there is a valid reason for complaint, we will either replace or refund part or all your order whichever is appropriate. We may require you to return the original order.If you decide after delivery you do not want all or any part of the order you will be required to return it to us at your cost. If on arrival back to us the quality and condition is good we will refund you the cost of the seed/sets less the original cost of delivery.

What happens if the variety/s I ordered are not available?

If any of the varieties you have ordered become sold out or in any other way unavailable, we will replace them with the next most suitable variety. If the replacement is more expensive the extra cost will not be passed on. If the price is less will add extra seed to make up the difference. If you have a preferred replacement please notify us in the information box.

What happens if the seed/sets deteriorate after I receive them?

After delivery it is your responsibility to store the seed/sets in the correct manner. Any deterioration of your seed/sets after the initial complaints period of 10 days will be at your own risk. If you do not have the correct conditions to store the seed/sets correctly it would be better to ask for delivery 2 to 4 weeks before before planting. If you want to chit your potato seed then January or February would be a good time for delivery.

Can I get a discount if I put in a large order for myself, or a group of friends or for an Allotment Association?

Yes you can. Please email or write to us and we will put together a special deal for you.

Do you have a growers or farmers seed/set list?
